Fluoro Surf is a "fluorine-based coating agent and water/oil repellent treatment" produced by Fluorotechnology. Both fluororesins and Fluoro Surf share similar properties such as water/oil repellency, waterproofing, moisture resistance, and stain prevention. By using Fluoro Surf, various issues encountered during manufacturing and processing can be addressed.
However, due to differences in certain application methods and properties between fluororesins and Fluoro Surf, it is essential to choose the appropriate material based on its intended use and purpose.
Differences between Fluororesins and Fluoro Surf:
Product Form
Fluororesins are in the form of powdered resin, while Fluoro Surf is a solution of special fluororesins in liquid form.
Application Process
Fluororesins require a powder coating followed by heat sintering, which requires specialized skills and equipment. They cannot be applied to non-heat-resistant materials. On the other hand, Fluoro Surf is in liquid form, similar to regular paint, and can be easily applied by brushing, dipping, or spraying. It dries at room temperature, and does not require specialized equipment or expertise. It can also be applied to non-heat-resistant materials.
Film Appearance and Thickness
Fluororesin films are white and opaque, with a film thickness of approximately 5 to 100 microns. Fluoro Surf films, however, are transparent with a film thickness of approximately 0.01 to 40 microns.
Heat Resistance
Fluororesins have a heat resistance of about 400°C. In comparison, Fluoro Surf has a heat resistance range of 80–120°C for thermoplastic types and 200–250°C for thermoset types.
Fluoro Surf’s fluororesins are synthesized based on accumulated processing technology, allowing for customization of specifications, control of characteristics, film thickness, and variation in the solvents used.
